Israel emulates the Nazis in slaughtering children

Unable to score significant hits against Palestinian resistance fighters, the Israeli army and air force continue to target mainly residential homes and apartment buildings all over the Gaza Strip, using American supplied F-16s and helicopter gunship.

The latest toll of the ongoing blitzkrieg is believed to have reached 90 people, the vast majority of whom children, women and senior citizens. Around a thousand other civilians were injured, some critically.

An Israeli military spokesman has admitted that Israel is killing Palestinian children knowingly, saying the goal of the killing is to make Hamas supporters suffer.

Israel routinely carries out war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians and other peoples of the Middle East, paying little or no attention to the rule of international law or international humanitarian law.

Human rights operators have long called for prosecuting Israeli political and military leaders as war criminals for committing crimes against humanity in Palestine.

Israel exploits the strong Jewish domination of the American government and Congress to escape any meaningful censure by the international community.
